A simple web app that uses the Open Weather Map API. This was built in a limited amount of time as an assignment.
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
- Clone the repo
cdinto the project directory, then runnpm install.- Run the development server with
npm start. - The app will be live at localhost:3000.
- Run tests using
npm test.
I knew that for the smoothest user experience, the data would have to be loaded asynchronously. I chose to go with React in order to easily build out the user interface while providing structure to my code.
- Incorporate Redux.
- The main App component is a bit crowded with methods, and I had to pass props down mutliple generations.
- Utilize more of the data provided by the API.
- Make my own weather icons, rather than using the ones provided by the API, to better suit the overall design.
- Come up with a way to separate the results by day, rather than repeating the day in each row.
- This would involve writing a method that iterates the API results, and use an algorithm to place them in an object where each key is a day, and each value is an array of weather data for different times on that day.
